ENVIRONMENTS ARE NO EXCUSE HINT MURDER 8Y LA FRANCE Insurance Swindler Arrested at Coquille May Face More Serious Charge. Portland, Or., Oct. 20 The pos sihility ol fixing a murder charge against J. C. La France, now on trial in Circuit Judge Kavanaugh' court for swindling insurance com prunes out of $15,000, is hinted at. by the District Attorney's office, La France perpetrated his swindle by "plantinir" a dead body on the Clackmas River, where it was dis covered by fishermen and was later "identified" by the note books clothing and other articles which La France had placed upon it. The manner in which the defendant sc cured the body is still a mystery, which he lias not chosen to explain and circumstances have developed during the trial which, are regarded as suspicious by the authorities. Accordingly Deputy District At torney Maguire has secured per mission from the court to have the grave opened and a minute cxami nation of the body anil the clothing made. This will be done at once and may lead to the discovery of something that will substantiate the the theory of the prosecution that the man came to his death by vio lence. Died in the Air. Berlin.

S. Govern ment Report Find Cover two Entire Townships. Seattle, Wash., Oct. 20. That the discovery of an extensive bed of bituminous coal in the Coos county section of Oregon will aid materially in the solution of the coal problem on the Pacific coast was the informa tion received todaj by Judge Denny, legisterof the General Land Office in this city, from a Government field agent who passed some time in that section, and who reports that the new coal field covers two entire townships. Government agents have been ex amining the field for several months and the covering ol conglomerate and oiit'croppings convinced them, says Judge Denny, that there was a rich field of coal beneath. The lay ing bare ol seveial seams from seven to 12 feet thick was conclusive. Judge Denny's inlorinant declares tl.at the coal is the highest grade bituminous coking coal. The new field is surrounded by valuable timber. A railroad will be built to the district by the C. A. Smith Lumber Company. The claimants, who expect to receive patents within a short time, puipose using diamond drills to mine the coal on account of the timber and heavy brush that covers a great part of the field. Money for Education, Yes. Inasmuch as there is to be in a short time several measures of iui- portonce before the voters of Ore gon at the coming election, it be hooves the giving of these questions more careful consideration than is the usual procedure when voting lor men as between men. One of these measures especially, should never have been so organically associated with the constitution, that its passage by any legislature would have meant its enactment, beyond the subject of any recall measure. We refer to the measure that involves the spending of public money for university extension. Surely there are not voters enough in this state who will cast their ballots against a measure of such vital interest to the present and future of the citizens of all this state, and jeopardize its ac ceptance. Education wider and more extended, is going to play an important part in the future ol Ore gon, it is going to he demanded more and more each year that pas ses, and with the younger and more progressive citizenship that will he asserting itself, the facilities to oh- ain it are not going to be hampered for lack of funds to carry on the work. This measure should be given the earnem and faithful sup port ol every friend of progressive ness along educational matters, it should be talked over, it should be shown that in this respect this state las enough people who want to forge ahead and not stand still. This vote should show that the sons and daughters ol Oregon will be loyal to their state. f the citizens will do their part, and not make it necessary for them to go outside to get that winch .they should receive at their home in stitutions. Study this matter up and see if you can not make a vote for the measure that might be gainst it, because they did not realize its importance. Roseburtr News. BED OF COAL
